Simulation of complex dynamics of mean-field $p$-spin models using measurement-based quantum feedback control

We study the application of a new method for simulating nonlinear dynamics of many-body spin systems using quantum measurement and feedback [Muñoz-Arias et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 110503 (2020)] to a broad class of many-body models known as $p$-spin Hamiltonians, which describe Ising-like models on a completely connected graph with $p$-body interactions. The method simulates the desired mean field dynamics in the thermodynamic limit by combining nonprojective measurements of a component of the collective spin with a global rotation conditioned on the measurement outcome. We apply this protocol to simulate the dynamics of the $p$-spin Hamiltonians and demonstrate how different aspects of criticality in the mean-field regime are readily accessible with our protocol. We study applications including properties of dynamical phase transitions and the emergence of spontaneous symmetry breaking in the adiabatic dynamics of the collective spin for different values of the parameter $p$. We also demonstrate how this method can be employed to study the quantum-to-classical transition in the dynamics continuously as a function of system size.

Simulating nonlinear dynamics of collective spins via quantum measurement and feedback

We study a method to simulate quantum many-body dynamics of spin ensembles using measurement-based feedback. By performing a weak collective measurement on a large ensemble of two-level quantum systems and applying global rotations conditioned on the measurement outcome, one can simulate the dynamics of a mean-field quantum kicked top, a standard paradigm of quantum chaos. We analytically show that there exists a regime in which individual quantum trajectories adequately recover the classical limit, and show the transition between noisy quantum dynamics to full deterministic chaos described by classical Lyapunov exponents. We also analyze the effects of decoherence, and show that the proposed scheme represents a robust method to explore the emergence of chaos from complex quantum dynamics in a realistic experimental platform based on an atom-light interface.

Occupation-constrained interband dynamics of a non-hermitian two-band Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian

The interband dynamics of a two-band Bose-Hubbard model is studied with strongly correlated bosons forming single-site double occupancies referred to as doublons. Our model for resonant doublon interband coupling exhibits interesting dynamical features such as quantum Zeno effect, the generation of states such as a two-band Bell-like state and an upper-band Mott-like state. The evolution of the asymptotic state is controlled here by the effective opening of one or both of the two bands, which models decay channels.

Generation of robust entangled states in a non-hermitian periodically driven two-band Bose-Hubbard system

A many-body Wannier-Stark system coupled to an effective reservoir is studied within a non-Hermitian approach in the presence of a periodic driving. We show how the interplay of dissipation and driving dynamically induces a subspace of states which are very robust against dissipation. We numerically probe the structure of these asymptotic states and their robustness to imperfections in the initial-state preparation and to the size of the system. Moreover, the asymptotic states are found to be strongly entangled making them interesting for further applications.

Off-resonant many-body quantum carpets in strongly tilted optical lattices

An unit filling Bose-Hubbard Hamilonian embedded in strong Stark field is studied in the off-resonant regime inhibiting single and many-particle first order tunneling resonances. We investigate the occurrence of coherent dipole wave-like propagation along of an optical lattice by means of an effective Hamiltonian accounting for second order tunneling processes. It is shown that dipole wavefunction evolution in the short-time limit is ballistic and that finite size effects induce dynamical self-interference patterns known as quantum carperts. We also present the effects of the border right after the first reflection showing that the wavefunction diffuses normally with the variance changing linearly in time. This work extends the rich physical phenomenology of the tilted one dimensional lattice systems in a scenario of many interacting quantum particles, the so-called many-body Wannier-Stark system.
